“Twitter’s capacity to spread false information is more than canceled out by its savage self-correction”? Please. Spare me your Internet Panlgossism. Bad data sticks around, particularly if it reinforces already-held biases and presumptions, and that’s especially true in the eternal-cascade world of Twitter.

i'm the leftist liberal you've been warned about - the one who genuinely supports the expansion of the welfare state. i love politics and data and graffiti and street art and am far too lazy to use my shift key. if you need to reach me, you can email to abbyjean at the google email service.
